[third3y3blink]

When i look at this man I see a lumberjack.

When i listen to this man i hear beauty.

[beanerzisdumb]

Everyday when I;m sitting at me desk right before I go to bed I pull my wallet out of my pants and try to throw it behind me and land it on my nightstand. I always fail, but this time, listening to this song I did it perfectly. Huh...

[andrea3468]

[Frostbite635]

This dude has such spirit when he sings and plays, I think that along with the beard is what makes him so awesome!

[theedwardcunningham]

yet andy doesn't have any friends named Marcus on facebook. #liar

[DunDamage]

so marcus got touched by his dad.....

[ScottPilgrim77]

This is Good Shit. :)

[CuccoOnFire]

Andy. You are an attractive, sexy angel.

[fizzandy]

& artists such as Taio Cruz get £££ for other people to write their songs about girls with short skirts and push up bras?

Psssh. This is pure, raw talent.

[bryant622]

5 peoples fathers touched more then their spirit. :/ sad day.

[loserfur]

@bryant622 what a clever comment relating to the number of dislikes. never seen that before, how original you are!

[natireds4]

epic beard

[cbusiedrums1993]

I know it's not, but think if this song was about marcus mumford....then that would mean they were friends, and that means they will make a cd together ahhhhhh. i can't wait for it

[xseth32x]

Is that the $2,000 blue mic?

[mattkaegebein]

[Jaysun325]

[bergiebergie77]

[bergiebergie77]

@Jaysun325 231 people realized that alan from the hangover wasn't the first person to grow a beard!!

[Jaysun325]

5 people thought this was a clip from "the hangover"

[IrisMarieHiephoi]

[salito42]

this session is probably one of the best live sessions ive ever seen, amazing

[XPOCKETSXx]

I cant imagine how much passion this guy puts into his songs, he just looks so touched when he plays.

[billycorgansbaby]

gave me the chills

[Honeyandthemoon369]

legit in love

[prefontaine229]

there's so many different elements to this song.....i'm speechless

[CalebTheGuitarist]

jeff galifanakis at his best.

[LocknLoadMusic]

@CalebTheGuitarist I think its zach galifianakis

[dubstepdisco]

@CalebTheGuitarist andy hull?

[m180322]

Why would someone dislike this, when they can just click on another link/video?

I think the thumbs down concept is for misleading videos.

Let's be constructive, people

[frenchiebum]

Love Manchester Orchestra. You guys do wonders.

You and the Cold War Kids need to pack up and come play in Portland =)

[Cptheadstomp420]

he makes me proud to be hairy

[pwnzorous]

The beard just makes the song just that much better.

[dubstepdisco]

Tabs/chords anyone?

[taylorfromfl]

4 peoples fathers "touched more than spirit."

[MarcusVigilIsAwesome]

This song is to me. Marcus.

[squigg0th]

@MarcusVigilIsAwesome hah xD

[xrufiox3343]

1:56 Too much beard for one screen shot

[thecarrieperry]

I would bone this dude on principle. The end.

[thecarrieperry]

He's fucking amazing. Seriously, my favorite artist. I would say band, but Right away is also in the running...

[thecarrieperry]

He's fucking amazing. Seriously, my favorite artist. I would say band, but Right away is also in the running...

[EloraMarie]

omg i love his beard.

[famdrummer]

he reminds me of Alan off the hangover!!

[nodqisme222]

@famdrummer Alan of the Hangover reminds me of Andy Hull..

[rockerMan0987]

@nodqisme222 chuck norris reminds me god...

[dodgezach]

if there was one man who would turn me it would be andy hull!! fuckin love this guy!!

[DeerLola]

that damn beard has more talent than most people i know!

[psyco4lp]

I love music. If i had any possibility of being a musician, i wouldnt care much of what most people thought about my music ,as long as i knew i sounded good and i liked what i was writing. somtimes i LIKE to think thats mostly what my favorite musician's thoughts are. including Manchester orchestra. just my opinion

[001seetherfan]

@psyco4lp yes.. that is the reason why people should make music! if the artist believes in their music it will shine through, as these intimate acoustics portray!!

[kinkishot]

i love covering their music, because their songs make me sound amazing.. hahah

[MrPaolo101]

@radiotorch

Taylors are nice, but Andy's preference of acoustics comes down to just one...

Martin D28..

Yes he's using a taylor for this, but martins are where its at! ;)

[RadioTorch]

i want a taylor guitar. ive never played a sucky one. you can get most of them to be set up to play like butter. low action without fret buzz

[sunofmetal666]

@urokr holland 1945 is by neutral milk hotel

[xRA1D32x]

@sunofmetal666 yeah but he often covers it 

[jackblackmagyk]

where can i download that song?? but i want the official one not acoustic plz help.

[hellobelljar]

@jackblackmagyk iTunes. 

[nihan87]

Andy Hull for president? :)

[TheTjbach]

Christ almighty. Just fantastic.

[jfkwpw4]

wonderful dynamics what a refreshing sound

[dahnyulz]

holland 1945 is not by manchester urokr..

[ElWeasle]

@dahnyulz They've covered it in the past, as has their friend Kevin Devine (he does it quite often.)

[noremorsex3]

M.O/AndyHull<333

[urokr]

Im seeing them sunday. I really hope they play Holland 1945.

[X3moCrushX]

ilu

[jw9626]

sleeeEEEEEeeepppp......lovit

[Dannoneusk91]

Yet another man proving that a man with a beard can do anything!!!!

...now i just gotta grow one...

Fuck you adolescence get a damn move on!!

[OnyxStar17]

dude

enjoy childhood

i miss it like crazy

you will too

[Dannoneusk91]

haha i know i will! So i do!

[STOPtheHORROR]

Such a beautiful voice.

[wegottabedreaming]

the comments on here are proof that a man can look like anything, as long as he does something as well as this guy does, he's hot lol. do you people really think this guy is attractive? not sure he's going for that.

[samanthapanthaa]

this is beautiful.

and i must admit, i'm suprised by his appearance.

...in a good way, of course.

[AShaddeau]

he looks homeless,but what a voice! I hate the whole indie unwashed look,the new trend of let's grow a beard.Looks dirty.

[SashaPsychoticc]

is this song about molestation?

[nassjay]

that's what i thought, mainly because of the first line

[Teskus]

Ditto

[man0purple]

I'm pretty sure yeah

[ThursdayIsMonday]

i'm more in love with this man than i am in love with his beard

[melanieann122]

@MG88 can't sing?? ahaha are you deaf?

[exohexilu]

@MG88 whats wrong with you?

[Snowboardme16]

i would have to say, not many people now a days can catch and melt the mind like he can. I cant wait to listen to more of what will come .

[bradleymustard]

hey andy hull, can I have some of your cool?

[yougotsomenicepants]

i can listen to this man for hours.<3

[heykatiehey]

me too, and i do. daily :)

i wonder if he actually realizes the extent of his lyrical genius.

[SunnyisinCalifornia]

@yougotsomenicepants Thinking the ssammmmee EXACT thing 5 seconds before I clicked on this song.

[thecoon666]

taylor 110e=dankness

[mellowhobo]

this guys great, and i love how he looks like a burly rough and tumble sailor but has a nice voice lol

[LucrativeSid]

Awesome.

[nicc0tine]

how does one become so amazing.

[creazyfroag]

@nicc0tine andy hull sells his soul ;)

[Rhiank321]

@nicc0tine it's all in the beard!!!

[KrazyKellen]

@nicc0tine cheese

[Rhiank321]

@nicc0tine well....first you need the beard....then.....nope just the beard haha

[angelizer999]

@nicc0tine losing your mind

[cuulguy321]

@nicc0tine Growing a beard like that would probably be a good start:D

[ratedyouaone]

@nicc0tine by drinking chuck norris' sweat

[DaWorldTisBalderdash]

Zach Galifinakas or somethin

[shockashocka11]

zach galifinakas is one of the funniest men alive and andy hull is one of the best musicians alive.

[Suedden2]

looks like the guy from hangover :D

[mlg0003]

hes hotter than the guy from the hangover. Oh i love them they are amazing live. ugh i love love love them!

[joeygarnreiter]

god damnit i love this song

[vegism]

I like this song mainly for its intrinsic value and the fact that he's obviously playing from the heart. This particular chord progression didn't do much for me, though its nice to see someone play with soul.

[webbyness]

Why are there thumbs down on this?

It's just an opinion.

And it was fair.

[vegism]

LOL didn't even notice that.

PS - Canadians rock.

[azrial4421]

His mouth works like Popeye's, I just wanna pour a big ol can of spinach in there.

[flywasd]

god i love this guy. keep rocken dude

[Walddo86]

This songs lyrics are pretty sad, it's a great song though, I love his creative melodies.

[22paperbag22]

Amazing&Beautiful&Wonderful

[tjmccq]

i have to side w/ withtongueAK Andy Hull is a great songwriter, maybe not the best of this generation but defitely better then Jesse Lacey

[mafoose222]

whoa whoa whoa there. andy hull IS definately a great songwriter, and has significantly improved on this album as opposed to the previous, but he doesn't even begin to touch jesse lacey's talent, with all respect.

[tjmccq]

well i'll just have to say i respectfully disagree

[mafoose222]

fair enough.

to each his own.

[seel5]

i actually loved the songs from their cd "nobody sings anymore". thought they were the best written out of all their cds.

[mikewhocarestinsley]

i agree with you.

i think isaac brocks the best of our generation.

[123mako]

I didn't know i was his friend

[thecoon666]

he has good lyrics but is absolutely not the best songwriter of this generation. JESSE LACEY IS

[withtongueAK]

Andy Hull is the best songwriter of this generation.

[hepotardrinafooo]

*cough* what

[noname31000]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA same reaction

[azrial4421]

wow great song and voice, glad I ran into it

[TheCellarDoorChannel]

Everything about Andy Hull is beautiful.

[lutkie]

Gawd. Sexy voice. I love it so much.

[Funt101]

sam beam/andy hull duet? sameday soon please.

[patrickj25]

eww

[Spectrum768]

they gotta do a music video for this song. it is my fav one on the new album

[bostonManifesto]

there is a music video for every song on the new album.

[rockerraplee]

they Havent Made 1 for every1 yet

BUT THEY WILL!!!  =D

[krockwhatever]

Andy Hull is amazing in all aspects of the word <3

[robbo729]

this cd blows my mind

[pedobearproductions]

come TO VOODOO FEST

[dontdrance]

i wish they would come back to voodoo fest,this year too

[ammieable]

I fall in love with Manchester Orchestra over and over again every day.

[cajander13]

wicked vocals. nice sound.

[MaxHimelhoch]

haha dont worry about it, it happens to the best of us, but not andy cuz he's better than the best

[MaxHimelhoch]

best writer in the game. period. game over. andy hull wins.

[danwarburtonmusic]

dammit, i ment to do thumbs up, sorry man

[dwightforlife]

aaron weiss,

mewithoutyou?

[iiiiiiiieee]

Kind of the same style.. I like this guys voice more, but I love aarons yelling :)

[LetsBeGracious]

@MaxHimelhoch Andy is amazing, but I'd give that award to Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver, though his genius can be more seen in his two solo albums.

[philmore64]

@MaxHimelhoch Andy Hull is unbelievable, but I'd have to give the award od best writer to Sam Beam of Iron & WIne... not to create an argument here cause I absolutely love Andy Hull, but if you havent heard of Iron & Wine, you should definitely check him out, esp a song called the Trapeze swinger... greatest lyrics ever

[SatanicSlave]

@MaxHimelhoch amen



[nonameshear]

I can not say enough how enthused I am for this CD. Their dynamics are great in the full band versions. It blows me away, and I'm not usually into this kind of music.
